Wow, that's a big robbery. If Apple is to blame, I hope some class-action lawsuit will be out in place, and the company will pay out the losses to the victims.
Luckily, I don't store any ETH, but I lost 0.6 ETH years ago to a hack as well. I was a newbie back then, though, so I've made a mistake of hodling my money in an online wallet that used to be popular back then, but with no access to private keys or anything.
Anyway, I hope the current story will receive a satisfying follow-up.
What's weird for me is that the post about ETH is on dogecoin Subreddit. If you didn't say this person weren't a noob, I would have certainly believed otherwise.

Hard to be check, there has several reason:
- Connecting wallet to such random website, because some type airdrop like UNISWAP
- Malware
- DNS Hijack
The one is really dangerous "DNS Hijack" because you can redirect to a phishing website even you visit the right URL and most of users who bookmarks and saves the website still can get this.
In not wrong, Pancake Swap is also one of the target of "DNS Hijack".

Only a beginner that would fall for those trick unlike these people, they know security measures. either it is because of sim swap or something more advanced that we do not know of, since technology keeps advancing.
another extra, we should not exclude the possibility of fault in their software since I have been hearing a lot of these things but on different network.
Hope people stopped storing and controlling huge amount of coins with a single private keys. I don't even like the idea of coins controlled by single secret phrases either. If you have $10,000 worth of coins or huge amounts of coins you can't afford to lose, splitting it into multiple parts and have each part have its own unique private keys, then store the keys safely. Splitting the coin can help alot.
And it's important to do the splitting on secure devices.

A recent post on reddit.com sounds about a request to check wallets, as hackers have withdrawn more than $1.1 million in Ethereum over the past 48 hours.

The user is not a beginner and knows all the storage security measures. But he and other victims as well cannot understand the reason why their Ethereum being withdrawn.
Are there any victims among members of the forum?
According to the telegram channel @gfoundinshit, there is a leak from Apple devices, since all complaints come from the owners of these devices.
